Chapter 359 2 The Old Man’s Plan
In the evening, Liu Jingxue came to the cowshed with food, eggs, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and daily necessities.
She also caught a pheasant and a rabbit from the space and brought them over.
Seeing the pheasants and hares, Liu Weihua said worriedly, "Xiaoxue, didn't the captain say that we are not allowed to go into the mountains to hunt during this period to let the prey rest and recuperate? Why did you go into the mountains again?
If someone sees this, it will be reported to the captain, which will be bad."
“Don’t worry, uncle, I sneaked into the mountain and no one saw me.
I just caught pheasants and rabbits, and left the rest alone.
I have also checked the pheasants and rabbits, they are not female, so it will not affect their reproduction." Liu Jingxue lied.
“That won’t work either, since our ancestors have set the rules, we still have to abide by them.
We still have a lot of bacon here, so we don't lack meat. You'd better not go into the mountains to hunt recently."
Well, it seems that we should not send them fresh meat for the time being, so that they won’t feel guilty.
There are so many fresh meats in the space, it seems I can only enjoy them by myself.
The aunt rolled her eyes at Liu Weihua and consoled him, "Xiaoxue, I know that you prefer fresh meat to bacon.
When you go into the mountains during this period, just take your own portion of the fresh meat and don't take the ones from our side.
We still have some bacon here, which will last us for a while.
When the ban on the village is lifted in a while, you can do it for us."
"Don't misunderstand your uncle, he's not worried that you'll break the rules.
He was worried that you would break the rules of the production team and let the villagers know and have opinions about you." Wang Xiulan explained for Liu Weihua.
“Aunt, you don’t need to explain. I understand uncle’s concerns.
I will listen to you and go hunting in the mountains after a while."
After handing the things over to her uncle and aunt and asking them to sort them out, Liu Jingxue said to Wu Lao,
"Grandpa Wu, four new educated youth came to the production team today, three of whom are male and all came from Beijing.
There is a boy named Zhou Mingxuan, who should be your grandson."
Ever since he received the letter confirming that his grandson would come to the Red Star Production Team to work in the countryside, Mr. Wu told Liu Jingxue his grandson's name and asked her to help confirm whether he had come.
After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, Mr. Wu was not as excited as Liu Jingxue expected. Instead, he said worriedly,
“We already know about the educated youth coming here.
As the workday was about to end in the afternoon, the team leader came to us and told us about this.
He told us that the new educated youth might cause some trouble, and asked us to be more careful in the future, to be on guard against what needs to be prevented, and not to let anyone catch us.
We were just wondering what was going on.
Xiaoxue, do you know what's going on?"
Liu Jingxue's spiritual sense scanned and found that the captain had arranged people to spread Zhou Mingxuan's words among the villagers, so she did not hide it and told them the situation.
"This shouldn't be possible. My old relative-in-law is like a fox. He must have made arrangements for letting Mingxuan come here. Why would he bring such a time bomb?" Old Wu was a little puzzled.
Mr. Zou asked, "How is your grandson doing on a daily basis? Is he reliable?"
"I raised him from childhood, and he was taught by his fox-like grandfather, so you would think he would be unreliable.
He has the justice and tenacity that his uncles and brothers have, but he is also more worldly-wise and tactful.
Even his grandfather said that if he had not been influenced by me and only wanted to do business, if he was willing to join the army and politics, he would probably be the one who went the furthest among the third generation of the Zhou family. "
"Then I guess what Mr. Zhou meant." Mr. Zou glanced at Mr. Wu, "You guessed it too."
Elder Wu was a little unconvinced, "It shouldn't be possible that he would use such a life-threatening thing to test Mingxuan.
My old in-laws wouldn't be so careless."
“If it was before, he probably wouldn’t have.
But you are aware of the current situation outside. If their family can't get through this, they will end up like us.
If that day really comes, going to the countryside may be the only way to save your little grandson.
Although you can arrange for him to join the army, you also said that your little grandson doesn't want to join the army.
Moreover, the Zheng family is also a military family and has connections in the military.
Your grandson has just joined the army and has not yet established a solid foundation. It would be very easy for them to do something to harm him."
“As for the kid who followed us, I think Mr. Zhou has more confidence in his grandson and knows that he can handle it.
If you really can't handle it, don't we still have you and me here?
Although we can’t do anything, this brain can still be used.”
“If the Zhou family cannot reach that day, then this Zheng family kid will be a good whetstone for training your little grandson.
If my prediction is correct, once your grandson is settled here, I’m afraid the Zhou family will start to fight back.”
When Mr. Wu heard this, he became worried again, "Although my old relative has some means, he is too upright and pedantic.
I don’t know whether I can ever win the fight against those insidious and cunning people.”
“Don’t worry about this. No matter how upright he is, he will not take it lightly when it comes to the safety of a big family.
Besides, so many things have happened in the past few years, and I have seen a lot and have become more prepared. "
Liu Jingxue sat there and listened to the two people talking.
After the two of them finished speaking, she interrupted, "So what should we do now?"
“If the kid surnamed Zhou is smart, he wouldn’t have contacted your Grandpa Wu during this period, so as not to expose the relationship between the two.
But I'm worried that the boy can't help it. After all, he has been thinking about me for so long. Now he is so close to me, but can't see me. It's really too torturous.
Xiaoxue, if you see any signs that he is coming here to look for someone, try to stop him."
Liu Jingxue glanced at Grandpa Wu and said, "Grandpa Zou, you can't always stop him from coming to see Grandpa Wu.
Even if he could bear it, Grandpa Wu couldn't either.
If we really want to wait until he deals with that Zheng guy, we don’t know how long it will take.”
"He's living in the youth cadre camp right now, right under the nose of that Zheng, so it's definitely not possible.
If we want to meet secretly, we have to at least wait until he leaves the educated youth camp and lives alone.
Besides, he lives with that kid named Zhao, and I don’t know if he can be trusted.”
"Xiaoxue, you should also keep an eye on that guy named Zheng.
From what Zhou said, the Zheng family are not good people. It's just like what Zhou said about their family tradition.
Don’t let him know about your dealings with us.”
Liu Jingxue thought that with her spiritual sense helping to monitor the surrounding situation, it would be impossible for others to discover that she was interacting with the people in the cowshed.
But for the sake of the others, she still agreed.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Zou, I will be very careful and won’t let anyone know.
As for Zhou Mingxuan, I will also find an opportunity to tell him your decision."
Mr. Wu thought about the things that had been spread in the village before, and reminded Liu Jingxue,
"Xiaoxue, tell Mingxuan to behave himself and stay away from those female educated youths at the educated youth center."
When Mr. Zou heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Old Wu, you are wrong.
Your grandson is 18 years old now, and it’s time for him to date.
Wouldn't it be nice if I could find you a granddaughter-in-law and let you have a great-grandson sooner?"
Master Wu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't believe you don't know about the story about Wang Lihua, Jiang Yueyao, and Wu Jing that was circulated in the village last month.
Such a person can be taken home as a daughter-in-law."
"Then you can't generalize. Maybe the remaining female educated youths in the educated youth center are very good."
“I have never met them, so I dare not say anything about their personalities.
I am the only elder of Mingxuan here. If Mingxuan wants to find a wife, I must approve her. I have to approve her if I think she is suitable."
"Times have changed. What you think is good may not be acceptable to your little grandson.
You should keep that to yourself and tell your little grandson later, and don’t let Xiaoxue tell it.
Xiaoxue is a little girl, and it is inappropriate for her to say these things to a gay man.
Maybe your little grandson has the wrong idea and thinks that Xiaoxue has a crush on him, and is using your words to smooth the way for him."
Mr. Wu choked, thought about it carefully, and realized that this was indeed possible.
He said hesitantly, "Xiaoxue, it's Grandpa Wu Menglang. Just pretend you didn't hear the rest of this sentence."
As soon as Grandpa Wu finished speaking, Liu Jingxue felt that it was a bit inappropriate and was thinking about how to refuse, but Grandpa Zou helped her.
She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Grandpa Wu, I will tell Zhou Mingxuan not to rush to meet you privately.
Actually, it’s not that you can’t see each other. You see each other every day when you go to work on the dam, but you just can’t talk to each other.
We will find an opportunity for you to meet in private later."
